Greetings from Johnson County, Indiana! First, thanks to all who contribute to these forums. I have absorbed much knowledge over the past several months and thought it was about time I registered as a member.

A little about me and my pond: My wife and I bought our 10 1/2 acres in 2016 and moved into our new pole barn home in November 2019. Our pond was dug last August - just in time to not get any significant rain for months. It's around a half acre of surface water (will have to wait until Google takes our picture again to get a more accurate measurement) and we are now about 6 inches from being full.

We have a windmill aerator running and the local fishery has an order pending for whenever they start delivering again. It's getting very exciting around here! Our plan for this pond is to (eventually) do some lazy fishing, attract some wildlife, and just enjoy being around it.
